This is my first post from the Votefund app(not counting the test post I’ve made from my other account). Here’s what I’ve added to it so far:
Login with steemconnect. You don’t ever have to use your private key. It’s all done through steemconnect though an awesome Swiftyconnect library created by
. It simplified so many things and made developing a good portion of the app an easy procedure.
Trending page. This has to be redone so that it gets posts from the database instead of the block chain for a few reasons. I don’t want people faking things and getting their post in the app. 3. New page. Same thing as the trending page, I need to get stuff from database. I hope that steem introduces something so that I don’t need to use the database anymore.
Database. If you guys just read the last two, it’s easy to tell that I’ve added a database. The only things relayed to it will be the permlinks for the posts that are made and might be used to store images for the time being as well.
Posting. You can make posts from the app, though it doesn’t have a viewer yet for markdown. I plan to support two types of writing, markdown and a native Votefund style.
Viewing. This one is sort of iffy, native Votefund posts show up fine, but posts made in markdown don’t yet render, I’ve been working on that for a while now and I think it’s about time to call in some help for that, an official task request on utopian will be made soon.
Profile pages. They are simple, just telling name, reputation and following and follower count along with posts. I might add a button to check out wallets soon.
I’ve been busy, but I’ll be focusing a lot more on this now as my time has started to open up.
